Ex-Navy Forest Schools bloke who really enjoyed Wilderness Gathering!

[forestschoolmatlot]

Hello everybody,

I am as the title suggests a Forest Schools practitioner that is developing his skills from a basic military survival background and some book and YouTube learnin'. Recently went to the Wilderness Gathering where I met lots of members of this forum all of whom seemed high calibre ladies and gents. I also tried and enjoyed mead for the first time on the recommend of someone from this forum, great drink, interestingly mild but lengthy hangover.

I'm a keen archer, hunter and was a medic in the Royal Navy working mainly in civilian hospitals and with The Royal Marines.

I hope to meet people, and not be too annoying with the questions I ask.

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Martin and fully welcome to the madhouse and lifehouse of BCUK from your neighbour at the gathering , Just don't forget the cider...oh wait that happened after you had the cider From your friendly chef

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone,

Tinky thanks for being such a great neighbour and chef, hopefully I can repay the kindness next gathering, if not before. You'll have to wrestle my new Dave Budd knife from my cold dead fingers if you want me to let go of it.

Chris we both know its the downy softness of the beard that keeps men and women alike coming back for more. I heard he conditions it with Forge Water everyday.

All in all I'm doing great since the gathering cheers Swallow how about you?
